Polmakem Capsule is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis of knee and hip joints. Polmakem Capsule is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to treat osteoarthritis of knee and hip joints. It inhibits the production of certain enzymes involved in inflammation, resulting in reduced inflammation, pain, and stiffness in the joints, and improves the function of joints.
Polmakem Capsule suppresses the production of proinflammatory substances (prostaglandins) by inhibiting certain enzymes involved in inflammation. This results in a reduction in inflammation-associated symptoms like pain, stiffness, or redness.
What is Polmakem Capsule used for?
Polmakem Capsule is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat osteoarthritis of the knee and hip. It works by blocking certain enzymes that cause inflammation, helping to reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness, and improving joint movement.
Is Polmakem Capsule an NSAID like celecoxib or etoricoxib?
Yes. Polmakem Capsule contains polmacoxib, which is a selective COX-2 NSAID, developed to reduce pain and swelling with the aim of fewer stomach and heart-related side effects compared with some older NSAIDs like celecoxib or etoricoxib, though careful monitoring is still needed.
Who should not take Polmakem Capsule?
Individuals should not take Polmakem Capsule if they are allergic to polmacoxib or other NSAIDs, have active stomach or intestinal bleeding or ulcers, severe liver or kidney disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe heart disease, or soon after heart bypass surgery. Your doctor will screen for these risks first.
Can Polmakem Capsule cause stomach bleeding or ulcers?
Yes. Serious stomach or intestinal bleeding, ulcers, or holes can occur without warning during Polmakem Capsule use. Stop the medicine and seek urgent care if you pass black stools, vomit blood, or have severe, persistent stomach pain.
